Park Light Fuse?

[RompaStompa]

hi guys, i was hoping someone can help me figure out why my park light fude keeps blowing....

its an r32 sedan, whenever i put the required 10a fuse in and turn the park light switch on, it just blows the fuse instantly, i got a test light on the fuse holder where you put the fuse in and there is power there even when the park lights arent even turned on, is this normal?

also i recently fitted a turbo timer to the vehicle has this got anything to do with this fuse blowing? because the parklights were working when i got the car, i just cant figure it out....

any advise will be good

cheers,

There should be permanent power to one side of the fuse. The switch then switches power to the lamp. So you have:

battery - fuse - switch - lamp - earth.

If the fuse keeps blowing, then you have a 'dead short' somewhere - you have pinched the power feed to the lamp somewhere between the fuse and the lamp so it contacts the body of the car. Have fun finding where, but start somewhere around the wiring of the turbo timer (an unnecessary addition, IMO)
